I want to get the LG Optimus L70 from Metro PCS. I see it has KitKat on it already, but it seems there is a rom on top, and i dont really like the look. So i wanted to get vanilla Android 4.4 on it, but im new to Android and i dont know if i can just install the vanilla, original version onto that phone... do i have to wait for a port or rom developed by the carrier or some other 3rd party?
Please help! Thanks in advance.

Ok so i just very recently got an android phone, the vibrant, after over a year of researching and waiting. Ive looked through and found that CyanogenMod 6 is very nice, but it doesnt support Vibrant yet. I hate TouchWiz and I want to get to either regular vanilla android or HTC Sense, vanilla being preferred. I also need 2.2. SO is it possible to install another phone's ROM, like the G2, and install it on the Phone? If so, do i need any special procedures? And one last thing, if the answer to my first question is no, is there any way to install vanilla android on the thing?
EDIT: Solved the problem found a bunch of ROMS on the site. Please close this thread. Thanks Anyway!

No, you can't install ROMs from other phones like the G2 on this device.
HTC Sense is still being ported.
There is no full Vanilla ROM (Anderdroid's AOSPish FroYo is the closest you can get)
2.2 is just leaked for the vibrant though, no official.. And the leak has bugs.
ok thanks. For now ill probably use the one you listed or this other one, Onyx or whatever. When CM6.1 comes out, ill use that
Hello, I really hope this is posted in the correct place.
I don't know anything about rooting or ROMs past the end-user portion of it, and I really appreciate everyone's hard work on all of this. Please forgive any ignorance that might follow.
I own an LG Intuition, and I would reallly love a Jelly Bean ROM or a port of CM10 - mostly for Google Now.
I understand that it is possible to run Google Now on ICS, but I can't figure that out.
My phone is rooted, but I can not find any custom ROMs for it anywhere. The international version of the LG Intuition, the LG Optimus Vu, runs Jelly Bean 4.1 stock. I believe the two phones are almost exactly the same. Would there be a way to (extract?) the ROM from the Optimus Vu and flash it on the LG Intuition? Or is anyone working on a Jelly Bean ROM or a port for CM10 for the Intuition?
Thank you again for all of your hard work developing for Android devices,
Benjamin Branchaud
Just search for "Google now for ICS"

Does anyone know if there is a ROM which we can flash on the LG G3 that will allow us to have the new G4 interface?
No
The G4's UI is called LG UX 4.0
Unfortunately, no, there is no ROM with that software for the G3, and I could be wrong, but I doubt there will be. The closest thing are either LG's stock ROM, skydragon, or Jasmine ROM. Your best bet would be waiting for someone to make an icon pack that is themed like the G4. In order to make your stock apps look like the G4's, I would search "LG G4 stock app apk" and once/if someone leaks them you should be able to download and install them. There is also a chance that someone will eventually make a cyanogen theme for it. In order to find that, you should search for an lg g4 cm theme on the play store. The cyanogen theme will require having a cyanogenmod based ROM, such as illusion. Hope that helps somewhat.
PS
I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that you posted this in the wrong thread. I say that because everything else under "Verizon G3 Android Development" is either a ROM or a root tool

I believe there were G3 based ROMs for the G2, so I could see a G4 ROM coming to the G3 at some point.

If I had the G3 I would make a port within like 2 weeks of the G4 system dump comming out. I made a G3 ROM port for the LG Ultimate 2 so I could make G4 one for the G3. Buy me a G3 and I will make one. Of course nobody is gonna buy me a G3 lol. If anybody is willing to test ROMs on your G3 then PM me and we might be able to make a G4 ROM port. G4 system dump: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/lg-g4-dump-rom-ports-begin-t3100936
Apparently there is work being done to bring a G4 port to the G3. See here:

Here's a link for G4 apks.

I've already rooted my LG Lucid 3. I've had this phone for a long time now and i know its already outdated, but I've never been able to find any custom roms for it. Its really annoying after waiting so long to see if any would pop up. I just want a stock android experience on this phone, without all the disgusting LG software. Please help? If you know of any compatible roms i could flash to it, that would work too.

The process involves rooting your phone, unlocking the bootloader, and installing a recovery. Once that is done you can install custom roms. I would recommend skipping cyanogenmod 11 and just jump to one of the Android 6 (marshmallow) roms that can be found here. Listed below are references that should help you accomplish your task.
The link below explains the process of rooting and unlocking your phone

Marshmallow for the E970 is only for the adventuresome. The less adventurous should stick with a Lollipop ROM. I have only tried 3 or 4 but like Resurrection Remix v5.6.4 which can be found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-att/development/rom-t2869745 .
Note: It is not the same as version v5.6.8 found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/opt...-resurrection-remix-updated-11-18-15-t3253357
